Mourinho plays down Rooney controversy
Jose Mourinho dropped Wayne Rooney from his Manchester United side for their 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Saturday.
Manchester United boss Mourinho insisted he left Rooney on the bench because the players he started against Arsenal gave the team more pace.

And yesterday, The Sun reported that on that Saturday night Rooney’s England team-mates Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana visited a strip club.
This is what Mourinho said about the England night out in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Arsenal draw - on Friday.
“I would have a great answer for you, but I don’t want to have because I don’t want to speak about it."
“But if you go one by one, to see where these 23 players were, some of them were in worse places than the hotel bar.”

At the time that comment did not resonate much but since the revelations about Henderson and Lallana it certainly does now.
Perhaps Mourinho was aware of where Liverpool stars Henderson and Lallana spent their Saturday night, whilst his captain Rooney enjoyed a night in at The Grove Hotel, where England were staying.
